From TV Animation One Piece: Maboroshi no Grand Line Boukenhen! Strategy Guide [RAW]

Bought and scanned by myself. The bought part being literally 2 years and a half ago. Lol. Why is time so cruel? Anyhow, it's just a strategy guide of some random One Piece GBC game. Bought it back then because it was like £2 including delivery from Japan. That said, it is nice to see the classic era of One Piece again. Do enjoy. See ya!

Magic Knight Rayearth - Making of Magic Knight & Saturn Game Box & Booklet Scans

Bought the Saturn (Japanese version) and Making of Magic Knight video games fairly recently so I scanned the booklets and stuff that came with them both seeing how nobody else will ever bother to. Anyhow, there was also this data book thing that came with the Saturn game with character pages and the like so you might want to check that out. Other than that, the other things are just your average run of the mill video game manuals, but you might want to check them out regardless. Also, I've ordered the Missing Colours so I'll get to scanning that when it arrives sooner or later. Nothing else to say. Enjoy! See ya!

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel Special Edition English Translation 1.0

Yippee! It's finally done! Thank fuck! Visual novel translating is a real drag. Anyway, for those who may not know, the Special Edition of Girlfriend of Steel features new scenes, a new ending, the ability to customise the games running resolution up to 1080p, and much much more. The latter being something that the original 97 release never had so that's a feature to come back and read the story again for. Hee hee.

Translated the setup screen so you can customize it before launching

Now, that said, what I did over the past months was retranslate the game line by line and fix everything up. However, that's not to say lines from the original weren't accurate for the most part, just the wording of things so there will be some similarities between my TL and the original seeing how it was spot on for the most part. Furthermore, I did cover some mistranslations the original team did in my progress reports so check them out for more info on that.

Game gave errors when I had commas and such so had to remove them

Moving on. Now, I'll leave clear instructions on how to patch the game files to get the translation running. It's the same procedure as GOS2 for the most part, but there's also a few other things that I want to run by you guys first before that. First, make sure you have Japanese language codec installed and the app locale stuff. That's basic stuff for running JP games. Second, Microsoft released an update the windows this year which turned off a specific driver that was used to run some old games and GOSSE is one of those that was affected. However, check out this thread on fuwanovel on how to get the driver back online and working.

That said, patch instruction time. Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a Texas drought, me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about, so put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts, yes I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up. Oh, sorry.

1. Dump all the files in the "Files to dump" folder into the games directory and overwrite
2. Open the "Files to patch" folder and patch each file like below
• Use the included xdeltaUI program to apply the graphics patch:
• Launch program
• Select patch file (example: event.xdelta)
• Select file to be patched (example: event.lb5, the original in game directory)
• Select where to output the file and make sure to name it for example "event.lb5"
• Select the patched file and replace the original games with it in the games directory
3. Do that for all 3 files that need to be patched
• event.lb5
• eve1024.lb5
• eve2048.lb5
4. Do it like they do it on the discovery channel
5. Play the game.

Now, I hope all of you can follow those instructions and enjoy the story. I put a lot of effort, time and pain into translating, playtesting and oh god don't get me started on bug fixing or the many problems that I encountered so it better pay off. All in all, enjoy this Christmas present from me and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Dr Jones signing off!

Note
I translated what in-game text and images that I could find in the games files and script but some of it I couldn't find anywhere and others were locked in different file types than the tools I had could decompress. A pity, but what JP you see in the menu's unfortunately stays. Also, I didn't bother to translate the credits this time round again. When you get to the end of translating a big project like this you feel relieved but when you see another huge wall of text to TL it honestly puts you off from translating it.

Update - 20th December - Updated DL Link
Since the graphics side of the patch unfortunately didn't work, I just decided to upload the translation with the edited files. Meaning, you just have to dump the files and that's that. Have fun!

Update - 12th January 2016
Thanks to a friendly email, a bug was reported but I got on that about a week later since I completely forgot. My bad. Anyway, it's just a two small files that had to be edited so you can find the link with the rest above. Just dump them in the games directory and replace.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel Special Edition Graphics Rip (PC)

Okay, I have had this ripped for over a month now, but I kinda forgot to upload it like all those Eva games I keep forgetting to. Anyhow, you'll find most (some were compressed differently) of the assets in the download in the varying resolutions that the game supports. I really like how they included 1080p support as all the graphics are in (or near) that resolution, and that's a real good thing seeing how the original was released like back in 97 or 98. Also, there was a few sketches hidden in the game files which I posted on Evageeks and the sketches from the hidden in the regular 97/98 games files some time ago so you might be interested in those. Other than that, you can find the DL below so have a nice day and I hope you enjoy the rip. See ya!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri: Kakera Asobi Graphics Rip

Like how I sorted out and organised the Sui rip, I actually did the same for Matsuri all the way back during late of last year. But, I kinda forgot about it and only remembered recently. That said, while you could say that Sui is superior in every single way to Matsuri, I still think that it's worthwhile to keep a backup of its assets since there were changes made to Sui's so you can have those which you prefer (Sui or Matsuri) or maybe even if you'd like to compare the differences. Either or, enjoy the rip. It has been on the net for a long time but at least now it's sorted. Bye!

Saikano: Saishuu Heiki Kanojo (PS2 Video Game)

I originally got interested in this game after watching the anime way back in 2012 (I think. My memory is kinda fuzzy) and wanted to check it out. So I then hit the net and found a recently uploaded download on one of those Japanese games blog and got it. However, I quickly forgot about it since that was before I got into translating and moved on. Though when I did in 2014, I was contacted by Kratos (or I contacted him, can't remember) sometime early that year on romhacking, but since I was busy I put it off. However, I eventually got around to it again midway into this year, asked him about it and realised that it was NOT on the net anymore, and that I was probably the only guy who had the game. All the links were dead and so was any torrent of it that EVER existed. But Kratos managed to find it off a friends personal storage or something like that, and began seeding it to me since the one I had, had a different MD5 checksum than this, and because of that the file extract script he made would not work with it. Then skip months later when it was eventually finished (Summer and stuff), I got what I could from the game (all the exclusive animation and such) and I uploaded it. Anyway, enough of my little story. This is an adventure game/visual novel in-which you control Shuji through the story of the anime (depending on your choices) and the choices you make affect Chise's stability/love meter and thus you proceed down the different available paths and routes. You can also end up with Chise, Akemi, or Fuyumi depending on what you do, so there is various endings for you to unlock. The download is below. I split it into 8 parts since my upload speed is shit, but it is good enough so check out the game if you're interested. Bye!

Saikano: Saishuu Heiki Kanojo - Two Music Tracks from the PS2 Game

There were also two song tracks on the games disc that were accessible (the games soundtrack is in a compressed format, sadly) so I decided to upload them, too. The first (the embedded video) is the long play version of the anime's ending theme Sayonara by Yuria Yato which is amazing and the other is an unknown song that I haven't heard before. It could be new or exclusive to the game, but if it isn't and somebody recognises it, then please let me know. That said, they were just music tracks without video so I had to slap some artwork to display for the video’s runtime. I was thinking of using the anime’s DVD cover but that didn't look too good so I went with Chise’s butt. And that’s artwork from the Love Song 2002 artbook, FYI. You can find it on e-hentai or various other places if you're interested or like the artwork. Either or, enjoy the nice music. See ya!

Saikano: Saishuu Heiki Kanojo - All PS2 Exclusive Anime Cutscenes

All PS2 exclusive anime cutscenes from the Saikano PS2 video game ripped from its disc directly. I included the intro and placed it first since there's also new animation in that, and ended it with the happy wedding ending to make things that more sweet knowing the canon ending. Just thinking about it still brings a tear to my eye. To ho ho. Anyway, I talked a bit with the God of War himself Kratos in this thread, and he very kindly wrote a script to extract the games files not long ago, so thank him for allowing me to gain access to these videos in the first place. Also, if you didn't know, AKEMI CAN LIVE in the game if certain conditions are fulfilled, so somewhere in the video you'll see her simply crawl out from under a wardrobe of sorts. Yippee! It was really sad when she died so having an option to save her in the game really means a lot to me. Just wish the same could be said for Rei in ARP but we got fucked there, it seems. I blame Anno. Anyway, you can also hook up with Fuyumi, too, so that's a nice bonus. All said and done, if you've ever watched this anime which I believe to be THE GREATEST ANIME OF ALL TIME, then this video is a MUST WATCH. Check it out.

P.S. - I also uploaded the intro of the game separately, FYI, so check that out, too, if you're interested. 

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel Disc Bonus

I played the first GOS2 recently and it was rather mediocre to say the least. Anyway, that's not exactly the point of this post so let's continue. After I played the game, I then checked around the disc to see if there was anything, and there was. Scans of the manual could be found and also a folder of images and some artwork. Neat stuff if you ask me. Though since viewing them means downloading the actual game, I think I'll just upload them separately for you guys to see, too. Have fun! The link is below.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel 2nd (PC Download)

I finally got off my butt to upload the PC version to the net seeing how no one else has, and I doubt people want to get it through a shitty, low-seeder torrent on nyaa. Anyhow, the main reason I wanted to upload this is for ease of access for those who want to try out the Chapter 1 Demo that I put out recently, and so people can have the game ready for when I finish translating the darn game, also. Either or, the links are reliable so go ahead and download it if you're interested.
